so heres my issue. i have a 95 eclipse gs, 2.0 non turbo 5 speed. i can shift into first, second, fifth and reverse, but wont shift into third and fourth. i did a clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, checked my transaxle fluid, i dont see any visible kinks in the shift linkage. had a hope that maybe my shifter was binding somehow, so i installed a short throw shifter under the thought that if i have to fix it, why not go with performance parts (haha). anyway, if anyone has been thru this, or just has a better clue than i do which wouldnt require much (again haha), i would be forever indebted.

 

Go to a shop or mechanic and ask them what it could be, then make a checklist and find out what is isnt. That's all l can say man, did you grind those gears before? And has your gear box ever been looked at

 

so got it figured out. something broke inside the transaxle. bad news is i cant find a used manual transaxle around me in springfield ohio to save my life. trying to find what tranny my car has so i can find other more easily found cars to get what i need from

 

Your car comes stock with the 420a Engine, I think talons, eclipses, sebrings, Chrysler neons all have the same one
